Luckily there is no need to try and muster up some will power. This crab dip teeters on the healthy side of our crab dip recipes.

So feed those growly stomachs and let your inner ravenous beast come out and play for a while, without having a guilty conscious and a bloated belly.

There is no need to navigate through this dip to get to the goodies (crabmeat) there is plenty of crab to go around. We’ve doubled the crabmeat compared to our other recipes just to give it the extra oomph-pa-pa.

Method to the Rad-ness:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 

In a medium frying pan/sauce pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the yellow onions and red bell pepper to the hot oil. Stir the vegetables constantly for 5 minutes until the onion has become translucent. 

In a medium bowl, add the onion/red bell pepper mixture along with the artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeno peppers, celery salt and lemon juice. Mix together thoroughly then gently fold in the crabmeat.
